Implants are artificial tooth roots made of tissue-compatible materials that are planted (implanted) into the jaw and grown together with the bone. The new dental prosthesis is then placed on this root. Different lengths and diameters of the implants enable an optimal adaptation of the dental prosthesis to the natural shape of your jaw. Today, titan is the material of choice for implants. It has proven itself for decades in medicine through its tissue compatibility. In very rare cases of incompatibility, we also offer implants made of zirconium.
Titanium or ceramic are the materials of choice for implants today. Both have proven themselves in medicine due to their special tissue compatibility.
In the event of a - very rare - intolerance, we are happy to offer you zirconium implants.

ZERAMEX® ceramic implants have numerous advantages over conventional implants. We would be happy to inform you in our practice about all the advantages of ZERAMEX® ceramic implants.
For the patients, missing gum on the tooth surface means not only an aesthetic affect but sometimes also a strong hypersensitivity on these places. Through mucogingival surgery, such defects can be remedied using a free mucous membrane graft or through a pure connective tissue graft.
In this treatment, the apex of a tooth is removed under local anesthesia by an access from outside through the jawbone. Such a measure is applied, if a chronic apical ostitis occurs (= chronic inflammation of the bone of the apex). This measure may be carried out only when the root filling is otherwise satisfactory.
Only a sufficiently available or created bone supply ensures the therapeutic success and the long-term prognosis of the artificial tooth roots (implants). Large bony deficits can also be reconstructed by using bone blocks removed intraorally or extraorally. Depending on the situation, a one- or two-stage procedure is selected, with the latter being able to insert the implants at the same time and in connection with the augmentation, i.e. the bone structure. The best method for you can only be determined on the basis of a thorough examination and consultation.
In modern oral and maxillofacial surgery, we have a number of modern options for building up bones (artificial jaw augmentation). They range from transplants of the body's own bone from different donor regions inside and outside the oral cavity, to pulling local bone apart (distraction osteogenesis) to the introduction of foreign material with bone-forming effects in the sense of controlled bone or tissue regeneration (GBR / GTR).
